Can Less Than 2 Workers per Retiree Sustain Social Security?


The Social Security model was based on a model of nearly 16 retirees per worker.  Today, there are less than 2 workers per retiree and Congress over the years has raided the Social Security "Trust Fund" to build "bridges to nowhere" leaving behind government I.O.U.s.  Where's the Line that we realize a great injustice has been perpetrated on this nation?
(CNSNews.com) - There were only 1.75 full-time private-sector workers in the United States last year for each person receiving benefits from Social Security, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statisticsand the Social Security board of trustees
That means that for each husband and wife who worked full-time in the private sector last year there was a Social Security recipient somewhere in the country taking benefits from the federal government.
